My son, is on a bachelor party cruise. He sent me a text telling me they were told their boat is going to dock in San Diego, and they will have to be bussed to Long Beach.

I couldn’t see anything on this map (earth wind map)

I’m not sure what the buoy heights are usually. Some outer buoys are showing “significant wave height” (4-6 ft).

I forgot to mention Hal Blaine played some mean drums on that track along with a young Glen Campbell on guitar.

I surfed as a kid. Fifteen footers would have had me out in the breaks.

But now I realize what a fool I was...sharks could killed me in one bite.

I have reformed...I am repentant.

I have devoted my life to the Lord!

I am still an idiot...but I am His idiot now.

I wish I knew how to add a small video. I would show the 100000 foot wave from “Deep Impact”. I have a phobia and that scene haunts me!!!

Speaking of which, he is a video of me surfing. Don’t be too critical. It was my first time.

That was an awesome scene, wasn’t it?

There is a similar wave in the book “Lucifer’s Hammer” and there is a surfer on that one!
